Quiet moth nights

Not too much to report from the moth trap over the last few days. It has been very pleasant during the day, temperatures around 13 - 17C but as from dusk, the clouds disappear, a bright moon rises and the temps drop. Hopefully this will change during next week.
Consequently, the only new for year records have been a brimstone, 2 in the garden on the 10th and 11th whilst another was trapped to the portable 15W Heath trap in Valley Fields on the 11th and 2 muslin moths that also came to the garden Skinner 125W trap on the 10th.
Last night was showery and cold with just a Hebrew character in the garden trap. Basically, it has been so poor I have not set the portable trap over the last 2 nights. Will run it for a few hours tonight, but non too expectant.
